Fictional Character Biography
A figure in shadow found the axe once wielded by Skurge the Executioner, and in picking up the axe was transformed by its magic into a superhuman being. This new being then went into action as Bloodaxe, battling the police and slaying drug dealers.
Bloodaxe first fought Thor when the mortal Eric Masterson was using the identity of Thor. Bloodaxe then battled Doctor Strange, and encountered Susan Austin as Bloodaxe. Bloodaxe then fought Code: Blue and Earth Force.
When the real Thor returned, Masterson became Thunderstrike and again fought Bloodaxe several times. Bloodaxe first encountered Thunderstrike when Bloodaxe sought to kill Carjack and his gang. Thunderstrike thwarted Bloodaxe and took custody of the axe.
Thunderstrike later defeated Bloodaxe and succumbed to the axe's will in an attempt to obtain more power to defeat an even more powerful villain, Set the Serpent God of Death. After Set was destroyed, Thunderstrike was possessed by the axe's murderous curse; as no-one was able to stop his rampage, Masterson chose to sacrifice himself in order to destroy the Bloodaxe forever.
The Bloodaxe was then re-introduced during Dan Jurgens' Thor run, where it was used by Thor in conjunction with Mjolnir. Thor later destroyed it with the Odinforce after he felt the curse beginning to work on him.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“What is character but the determination of incident? What is incident but the illustration of character?”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
